Hi I haven't installed gerris, but it seems to me that you are not very familiar with software compilation under linux.

So here are some hints:

*There are probably gts and glib library rpm-packages shipped with redhat. So you don't have to compile it manualy, if you have got the superuser password. (These libraries normally ends with *dev) -> install these

Matze, yes I'm not so familiar with compilation under linux, but only one package was given and run in red hat but with an old version. The second, when I try to install gerris, it give me an error that gts was not installed.

about errors of compilation, please refers to my posted message on this forum on date: sat, 12 Nov 2005.

Harich, what do you meen with the sequence : ./configure make make install, is it for the libraries or for gerris. more details please.

#configure gerris (type in) ./configure --prefix=$GERRIS_PATH --other options to find gts library and header #look to ./configure --help to find out options to set where gts is installed(headers(*.h) probably in /opt/gts/include and library probably in /opt/gts/lib

#compile gerris (type in) make

#install gerris as superuser (type in) su (type in) mkdir $GERRIS_PATH (type in) make install (type in) exit (become normal user again) ------- #now everything should be installed #you just have to set some environment vars (type in)export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/gts/lib:/opt/gerris/lib (type in)export PATH=/opt/gerris/bin:$PATH #you can add these to .bashrc if these things should be set next time you log in

------- Play a while if this don't work; If you need more help please send back via e-mail on cfd-online I made the assumption that glib is correctly installed
